Listen to these guys Taylor. I'll be 30 in September and we have only been out of this trap for a few months now. We made $120K last year (2010) and blew almost all of it. When we started making money, it was so easy to spend it and we lived like that for 5 years. Sure we own a house, vehicles, and the like, but we could have a much nicer house or even be looking at making an upgrade soon. Those 5 years of frivolous spending left me with one hell of a collection of hunting gear and stories of wild, careless weekends. But it did nothing to better my future. Now more than ever, you need to bank that coin...
That's always been a big problem I've had, I always blow money and I'm terrible at saving up, now I've gotten better this year with the mowing but I didnt save enough to make it through the winter..thankfully I'm working this weekend at the sportsman club. But anyhow, thats the MAIN thing my parents have preached to me..save save save.
